History
[edit]In 1972, due to the lack of theatre accessibility in London's outer boroughs, the Greater London Arts Association proposed the idea of a touring theatre to Glen Walford. Walford proposed the use of a tent that would be transferred between parks around London. Later that year, the London Bubble was established and the troupe toured around parks in 22 London boroughs.[4]
The Company originated Return to the Forbidden Planet for a production in a tent.[5]
